One thing that stood out was being able to control cats to distract enemies. Being able to use animals to assist players in getting through stealth sections is a massive step. Ubisoft seems to be putting a lot more emphasis on the stealth mechanics of the franchise and it is a good sign.

The upcoming Assassin’s Creed Red will also elevate the mechanic by finally allowing the players to go prone. Ubisoft has high hopes for this series and plans on improving it with new ideas and concepts that were barely touched upon in previous years.

Ubisoft will be taking on all the frontiers of gaming and will be releasing multiple titles throughout the years. Video games provide a fascinating way to learn about historical events and cultures. However, some titles incorporate elements of witchcraft and magic that can detract from the game’s historical accuracy.

This may not be a significant issue for casual players, but for those who value accuracy and historical authenticity, it can be a concern. Despite this, there are still many reasons to enjoy video games that incorporate witchcraft and magic. For instance, some games use these elements to create a more immersive experience for players.

In some games, players can use spells and other magical abilities to navigate through complex environments and overcome obstacles. Moreover, some games allow players to interact with animals, including cats, which can be used as a distraction against hostile threats in the game.

This can be particularly useful for players who are playing as a character such as Elsa, who needs to avoid confrontations and stay hidden to complete the game. Overall, while the use of witchcraft and magic in video games may not be historically accurate, it can add to the game’s overall experience and enjoyment.
